OVERTHINKING
We’re again in spotlight territory because the album strikes towards its finale. When Overthinking was first teased, I commented that it gave the impression of “Fortunate To Be Liked within the membership,” and the total model bears out that description. For Fortunate To Be Liked, I initially discovered the music nice however inessential. Nonetheless, with time it grew into a significant standout. I can simply see an analogous arc for Overthinking.
The music opens with a stunning verse, placing melody entrance and heart over a thumping dance beat. I want this similar melody repeated in verse two as a result of it’s so interesting. From right here, the music climbs into an octave-stretching refrain that appears like a vocal warm-up put to an instrumental. It’s not straightforward to make this sort of vocal run sound nice (belief me, I’ve tried singing it within the automotive to a lot private embarrassment), however the members pull it off.
I’m of two minds concerning the switch-up throughout the second refrain. Sure, a music can at all times do with extra selection, however I additionally hate when EDM tracks plunge right into a extra downbeat tempo shift. Nonetheless, this transition has already smoothed out for me and I’m discovering the music as a complete very addictive. Other than the album’s two singles (yep, Head Shoulders Knees Toes has grown into an enormous standout for me), that is undoubtedly my favourite observe.
